The visit to the Royal Banquet Hall and the Crystal Corridor requires a separate ticket, the ticket price is 580, which is expensive, and it is not worth taking pictures. The Royal Court is the site of the Royal Palace Hotel, and you have to pass through here to see the Royal Court.
In the lobby of the Imperial Palace Hotel, a large portrait of the King of the Mevar Domain hangs on the wall. The Royal Court is the corridor of the Palace Hotel, and the decoration is full of luxury. I didn't see any guests, it was quiet inside. The corridor of the Royal Palace Hotel, from here is the Imperial Court, the Grand Ballroom.
The high-end toilets here are free for visitors to the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court is the Grand Ballroom that you can visit. The chandelier hanging high is a pure crystal product imported from England. The Grand Ballroom of the Royal Palace is very luxuriously decorated. On the ceiling in the middle hangs a large and luxurious pure crystal chandelier.

In the corridors on the left and right are crystal products on display, and you are not allowed to take pictures. After visiting the royal court, step out of the palace, which is the south gate of the palace.
Looking up at the building on the south side of the palace, the shape is acceptable, but the decorations on the walls are too few to show luxury. The building on the southern side of the palace is now an upscale hotel and a private residence for members of the royal family. The guards of the palace happily took a photo with Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. Group photo with the palace guards. Group photo with the palace guards.
A well-known local gets married, and from here they take a boat to a hotel in the lake for a wedding feast. A lot of guests came with you. At the entrance to the pier, a woman dressed in a sari throws fuchsia rose petals at the guests. The first one is the bridegroom, and the back is the father of the groom. The bride had already boarded the ship, and the bride's mother seemed to be unable to go with the ship to her daughter's wedding reception.
Standing in the corner on the side of the dock, he cried bitterly, and his daughter got married and left home. has been an adopted daughter for more than 20 years, and once she married into his family, being a mother is like cutting off the flesh of her heart. The white marble building in front of the Palace Hotel is the Lake Palace Hotel on the island of Jaignivos in Lake Pichola Lake.
It was originally built as a luxury summer palace by the Turkish vassal king Jaigt Singh, and was later converted into a luxury hotel by the prince Bagwater Singh in the 60s of the last century, and is now owned by the Indian Taj Group. One of the locations in the movie 007 "Octopus". The newlyweds I just saw were able to have a wedding banquet at this hotel.
The man must be a family with a certain social status and wealth, and the bride's mother may be pleased. Located on the west side of the old city of Udaipur, it is 3 km long and 4 km wide, and was founded in the 16th century by Udai Singh II, the vassal king of Mevar.
The village of Pichola was flooded on the basis of a small lake and the area of the lake was enlarged to form its current size, giving Lake Pichola a new name. Although the area of the lake may seem small, the water level is actually very shallow, and the lake bed is exposed during severe drought during the dry season. Lake Pichola is the most beautiful scenery in Udaipur, without which Udaipur would be overshadowed.
Not far to the north of Lake Pichola there is a sister lake, Lake Fatah, which is already very beautiful, but not as famous as Lake Pichola. The latter is because it is close to the royal palace, and there is also a palace hotel in the lake that has been on the 007 movie. Leaving the south gate of the palace, you will come to the shores of Lake Pichola. At this time, the sun has just set, and the sun is setting on Lake Pichola Lake.
There is a kind of feminine style floating on the surface of the lake, gently swaying with the orange waves and slowly diverging into the air. The lake is dyed red by the sunset, and it is very stunning. At this time, the Lake Palace Hotel, which is stationed on the lake, is shining with golden light, much like a huge cruise ship, wearing the sunset on the lake to carry passengers and enjoy the scenery.
At this time, the wedding banquet of the couple may have begun, the handsome groom wearing a black straight suit and a pink head, is holding a beautiful bride in a white wedding dress into the festive hall, the guests present to participate in the wedding banquet holding wine glasses to send blessings to the newlyweds, the cups are staggered, the flash lights are constantly flashing, reflecting the happy smiling face of the newlyweds.
At this moment, the dusk on the shores of Lake Pichola is beautiful, and the snow falls and Liu Jingshu is willing to share it with the newlyweds. Looking at the lights of the lake from the other side, various colors ripple in the water. On the opposite shore is a row of mid-range hotels with neon lights at night. A large upscale hotel on the northeast side of the lake, with numerous golden mushroom tops.
The south gate is some distance from Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's hotel, and with a ticket to visit the palace during the day, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu can re-enter the palace and go out through the courtyard through the north gate, so as to avoid a long detour. In the evening, in the courtyard of the palace, a musical dinner was being held, and the lights cloused the palace in pink, and the concert had not yet started and the guests were not there.
On one side of the courtyard, many chefs were busy for a sumptuous dinner, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had no intention of staying, they were very tired from walking all day, and wanted to go back early to rest, so they hurried through and waved goodbye to the bright palace in the night. Walk out of the north gate of the palace.
It's close to where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu live. The old cannon was still squatting there quietly, a little less majestic than the day. The night view of the north gate of the Udaipur Palace and Liu Jingshu were the last tourists to walk out of the palace, and there were no other tourists behind them. Stroll back to the hotel and leave the Ambilight behind.
88 North Gate of Udaipur Royal Palace, Old Udaipur Royal Palace. Walking along the narrow alley of the old city by the lake in the direction of the hotel, I met the Indian brother I met in the palace museum during the day, and he warmly invited Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to watch the folk dance performance in the evening, which was where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went in the morning. flourishing
It's hard to be in love, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went together. Entrance fees are 100 per person. 50 for the photo. The stage is a platform in front of a building in the courtyard of the museum, the actors are all locals, Rajasthani national costumes, a few men beat drums and play the piano, and a few women tune a few folk dances, quite folklore, but it is not very exciting, I am tired of walking during the day, and I am not too focused on watching.
At the end of the performance, someone walked up to the audience and charged money to those who took pictures with their mobile phones but did not pay the photo fee. Folk dance performances in the evening. Folk dance performances in the evening. After watching the dance performance, the Indian brother took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to a local Indian restaurant for dinner, because this small restaurant located deep in the alley is full of locals.
So, the food is more authentic and the price is more realistic. After a relaxing day in Udaipur, get a good rest and get ready to recharge for the evening train to the next stop, Bundi. In the morning, go to the observation deck on the side of the palace to see the morning view of the city and the lake, and then go back to the hotel for breakfast; check out after breakfast, most of the luggage spent 600 yuan to be stored in the hotel, and go back to Udaipur to pick it up the next morning.
After checking out, everyone went to the restaurant on the top floor of a lakeside hotel, where they spent time from lunch to dinner and rest, and went to the lake in the middle. After dinner go to the train station and take the train to Bundy. There are many small shops on the streets of Udaipur, but there is nothing you want to buy, the prices are not attractive, and the quality of the goods is relatively rough.
didn't find a big shopping mall with a sense of the times, maybe it was the reason why Xueluo and Liu Jingshu didn't go to the street to look for it. In short, I feel that Udaipur is good for leisure travel, and shopping is average. Udaipur Viewing HeightsUdaipur Viewing PlatformsEarly in the morning, walk with Liu Jingshu to the observation deck on the south side of the palace to overlook the scenery of the White City, especially the lake view.
The observation deck is located on the top of a hill about 1 km south of the palace, where you can see the entire city of Udaipur and Lake Pichola from where you stand. It's a great place to see the view. When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu came early in the morning, there was no one there, and it was very clean. Standing high above the observation deck, Lake Pichola is to the west and the city is to the east, so you can't see the sunrise over the lake.
After sunrise, the lake is in the direction of the light, and the sunlight illuminates the scenery on the lake in turn. Below the west side of the observation deck is a small artificial lake, and there is a small pier nearby, which is where the newlyweds boarded the boat to the Lake Palace Hotel last night. There is a small island in the lake ahead, called Jaigermandy, which was built in 1620 by the Turkish vassal king Karan Singh.
It was later expanded by the successor of the vassal king Jaiget, Singh. In recent years, the island has been transformed into a small hotel using the island's buildings. The Jaigo Mandy Hotel is a small, seven-room hotel surrounded by landscaped gardens, an ornate 17th-century tower, and a restaurant, bar and spa.
On one side of the entrance, there is a row of beautiful stone elephants. Overlooking the lake to the northwest, there is a white building in the middle of the lake, which is the Lake Palace Hotel on the island of Jaigniworth, which I saw on the lake last night. The golden building on the north side of the lake is a five-star luxury hotel. The Lake Palace Hotel overlooking at sunrise looks like a huge ivory carving.
The whole body exudes a white and delicate luster and texture like ivory. It looks very noble and elegant. Looking across the lake to the north, there is a rising hill with a white castle on the top of the hill, which is said to be the residence of the Maharaja, and is now managed by the Taj Group, an internationally renowned hotel management company, along with the golden high-end hotel at the bottom of the mountain.
From the observation deck, you can clearly overlook the city palace of Udaipur, which is the old palace of the Mewar dynasty. The semicircular building at this end of the hillside is the part of the palace where the Imperial Court is located, part of which is used as a hotel and part as the private residence of the Maharaja, and the building at the back end is the Palace Museum, which I visited yesterday.
The peacock courtyard inside impresses the snow fall. The restaurant on the top floor of a small hotel on the shore of Lake Udaipur has become a base for Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu to relax in Udaipur, where their companions eat and drink tea and rest here looking at the lake during the day, and have been in India for more than ten days and need a little rest.
Udaipur is confronted here by the waterway connecting Lake Pichola to Lake Fatah. On the left-hand side, cross the bridge in the distance, and then follow the waterway up to Fateh Lake. Opposite Udaipur is the old city district. Directly in front of it, there is a lake step on the right side of the green tree, called Lahr Pier. The golden building on the right side of the Lahr Quay.
It was the place where I visited yesterday morning and watched folk performances in the evening; the minaret that emerged behind the Lal Pier was the first one to visit yesterday morning, and the white marble reliefs in it were extremely exquisite; the hotel where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu stayed was in the nearby alley on the right; and the golden building was seen from the distance on the right.
Yesterday afternoon, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went there to visit the museum, the imperial court, and the crystal corridor in the palace. Entering the pier from the streets and alleys of the old city is through the three stone door holes.
The pier and the palace-like building on the right side were once a private residence of the Tuvassal King, and are now used as a museum. On the dock, many people come here every day to do laundry and even bathe. Udaipur faces Lal Pier and the Old Royal Palace across the water. Their figures are reflected in the lake in turn. Udaipur faces the old royal palace across the water.
From left to right are the Palace Museum, the Imperial Court, the side hotel, and the Prince's private residence. The private residence of the princes of the descendants of the Tu Domain, Udaibur Mevar, is located at the southern end of the old palace. These are the three ancient gate caves of Lal Pier. Wear it out and it's the lake. On the left is the Museum of the Prince's Residence.
Locals washing and bathing on the pier at the lake altar. Men and women are separated from each other. Local women who come to wash clothes on the pier. They are dressed in brightly colored saris, with large basins on their heads, and they look very Indian. Local women who come to wash clothes on the pier. A local girl walking in front of a woman doing laundry on the dock.
Judging from the clothes of the family, the family is not very good, and he carries an aluminum basin in his hand, which is black and greasy, and there is a lit incense on it, as if it is for prayer. I don't know what was in the cloth bag on top of my head. Lake Pichola has a strong sense of relaxation in Udaipur. Take a rest here by the railing, watch the lake view, blow the lake breeze, and have a cup of tea at hand, which is really pleasant.
If you have time in Udaipur, it's also good to take a cruise. The snow-white building of Udaipur reflects the snow-white figure in the lake, and dyes the surface of the lake white, and the white ripples sway in the water, giving people a dreamy feeling. Udaipur's snow-white and bright yellow are brilliant in the water.
A small offshore garden in Udaipur. The Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur is surrounded by a lake. The old wooden sailboat moored next to the Udaipur Lake Palace Hotel adds a bit of dynamism to the building. In addition to the Lake Palace Hotel, there are many special hotels along the lake in Udaipur. Overlooking the green jungle on the north side of the lake, there is a five-star high-end hotel.
The roof of the hotel has a lot of semi-circular pumpkin tops and small hats, typical of palace-style architecture. The high-end hotels here want to make a bit of royal style and taste, so as to look classy. The blue sky stains the lake in front of the hotel very blue. This hotel on the shores of Lake Udaipur with a lot of little hats is also very attractive.
